Tirunelveli

Tirunelveli is famous for its mouth watering wheat halwa. The famous halwa shop, opposite to the historic Nellaiappar Temple is ‘dimly lit’ and opens five at evening and closes at 8!!! Hence the name “iruttu Kadai Halwa” meaning “Dark Halwa Shop”. Long queues will be seen outside the shop, which is open only for 5:30 to 7:30 PM everyday. Most say that this uniqueness in taste could be mainly attributed to “Thamirabarani” river’s sweet waters.
